Mailable Valentine & Birthday Card Canvas Panel

valen8 hbflowr
Here are two cards I've made using canvas flower panels.  One I created for Valentine's Day and the other for  a special someone's birthday.  I plan to mail these as is in the mail without envelopes.  I have mailed many things as is in the mail from shoes to tins so don't let them tell you that you can't do it.  After all if people can mail live chickens you can certainly mail a little ole canvas panel :-)
